Will the existing holes in the fiberglass HOLD a #8 screw?...stay w/#8 if you can...if not, move up to #10s and redrill existing holes for clearance in the metal and you'll probably have to drill a little larger hole to allow a larger screw w/out cracking the gel-coat...bevel the holes to prevent cracking...

The existing holes, both in the windshield frame, and the fiberglass won't hold a #8. I'm going to drill all new holes, plenty of room to just shift them over a bit.

Thanks!

Default used #6 screws

Drilled all new holes offset about an inch from the original ones. #8 screw heads were too big to fit into the frame properly, but #6 fit perfectly. Nice and snug now.


On to the wiring now. Have taken about a half mile of old wire out so far...
